Hmm....We once had a guy on nlnet also behaving like a pain in the ass.
Some day some ppl suggested it wasn't a person at all because no person
could ever be so ******* (fill in yourself).
Anyway it was supposed to be an implementation of an Artificial 
Intelligence. Of course not a complete one, since it obviously has
some serious bugs in it. We never trcaked down the writer of the AI,
since it was suspected he was to ashamed of himself.
Now what I think is that this AI-writer fled away from Holland, to the
US of A, and tried yet anoter AI (YAAI). Unfortunately he failed
miserably for the second time leaving not only nlnet but the complete
internet world with his monstruous creation.

Hmmm...I dont really know. Perhaps we should save some space for the
writer of the AI and launch *him*.
